Brooklyn boasts its share of outdoor restaurants with sidewalk tables, but those of us with kids enjoy eateries with more spacious outdoor dining. A backyard, picnic tables, roof decks, or sometimes even a bit of grass? We're sold!
Just in time for summer, we've rounded up our favorite spots across Brooklyn featuring ample outdoor space, serving delicious food, and welcoming families with children. If you're in the mood for variety, we've included a mix of cuisines: Japanese, Mexican, Cuban, southern comfort, and, of course, pizza, barbecue, and new American.
